Asset conversion exchanges one supported account balance for another using a quoted conversion rate.
The key things to check are the source amount, destination asset, effective rate and resulting balance before confirming.
How it works
- 1. Choose the balance you want to convert from.
- 2. Choose the destination asset.
- 3. Enter the amount.
- 4. Review the quoted result.
- 5. Confirm once and check the updated balances.
What matters most
- Conversion rates can change with market prices.
- A quote can expire or change if the market moves.
- Converting between assets creates price exposure to the destination asset.
- Repeated unnecessary conversions can add costs or spread impact.
Practical example
Converting 100 USDT into BTC means the resulting BTC amount depends on the BTC/USDT rate used at the time the quote is confirmed.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Confirming a stale quote.
- Converting the entire balance without considering future needs.
- Confusing conversion with blockchain withdrawal.
- Repeating a conversion because the UI did not update immediately.

Frequently asked questions
Is conversion the same as trading?
They are related but different workflows. Conversion directly exchanges one account asset balance for another rather than opening a leveraged market position.
Why does the destination amount change?
Because market prices and the effective conversion rate can change.
Does conversion send funds to another wallet?
No. An internal account conversion changes balances inside the platform; withdrawals are a separate process.
